Skull took a closer look and realized that not only had Blood Sea Devours Demons' heaven-defying display vanished, even Guangguai himself had disappeared from the Demon Battle Platform!
All that remained where he had stood was a patch of black mist that had yet to fully disperse.
What was going on?
Was the battle really over?
Guangguai had lost just like that??
How had he lost?!
Confused, Skull hurriedly asked the surrounding demons for confirmation.
"What happened just now? Where did Guangguai go?"
"He's dead." Fury Shield, who stood closest to Skull and was responsible for keeping watch, answered blankly, disbelief still lingering on his face.
"It seemed something went wrong when he activated Blood Sea Devours Demons. He couldn't withstand the pressure, and his body shattered."
"Looks like Demon King Guangguai hadn't completely mastered quasi-Demon King Li Yun's Blood Sea Devours Demons as he claimed. He suffered a backlash from the divine ability..."
Skull was dumbfounded.
That careless?!
He had thought that, after all those flashy displays Guangguai had put on, there was an eighty-percent chance he could hold onto the throne and win the battle.
Yet after all that, he had been killed by the backlash of his own means of defeating enemies?!
It was practically the same as Demon King Qin getting instantly killed!
What was this?
Did heaven's justice really come full circle?!
For a moment, Skull's feelings were a tangled mess.
He actually hadn't wanted Guangguai to die, because compared to Liu Wenjian, that guy had far more suspicious points about him.
Once the challenge ended, no matter how much the Council of Elders put on a false show outwardly, they would definitely investigate in secret.
But now, damn it, Liu Wenjian had won!
While setting the record for the shortest reign of any Demon
